YOU: Having a Baby

The Owner's Manual to a Happy and Healthy Pregnancy

De: Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet Oz

Narrado por: Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet Oz

America's favorite doctors Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz cover pregnancy from conception to birth with the ins and outs of nutrition, exercise, hormones, fetal development, and many more pregnancy-related issues.

Few life experiences feature emotional swings as extreme as those of pregnancy—it’s a monumental mix of both intense excitement and skip-a-beat anxiety. How do you respond to such a situation?

If you’re like most, you scour websites, read books, browse blogs, and pick the brains of every friend, family member, and store clerk who’s ever had a baby. You talk about the ups and downs, the cravings and the nausea, the maternity clothes, and the stretch marks. During this 280-day journey, this sometimes-scattered mindset is perfectly natural—and healthy.

Often, though, you need help cutting through the clutter. In YOU: Having a Baby, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen, America’s Doctors, will help ease your tension by teaching you not only about what you can do but also why you should do it.

Using their signature wit and wisdom, they’ll test your knowledge, bust many myths, and reassure you that your maternal instincts are usually pretty darn good. After all, the doctors want the exact same thing as you do during this journey—a healthy baby (and a healthy mom). Be assured that YOU: Having a Baby will be one of your favorite passengers on this wonderful ride.©2009 Michael F. Roizen; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster

Good information

Great basic information to get you started. I loved how they talked about epigenetics! Didn't totally agree with the nutrition recommendations (low fat dairy?), but everything seemed VERY helpful!

Loved it!

I love the how most ideas and arguments are backed up by scientific facts. Really enjoyed this book.

Mind Blowing

I am 29, and have earned my MA. My husband and I are just a couple of months away from trying to get pregnant. Chapter after chapter, this book told me hundreds of things that I never knew. We both enjoyed listening and will walk away with a lot of knowledge that we didn't know about before listening.

A Good Read if You are Having a Child

This book was well written. I felt like I had a good grasp of what to expect when having a baby just by reading this book. I think the only point I'd like to make is that the book left me a little worried and burdened about giving birth. Maybe I just wasn't ready to hear everything like it is. But I have to say that when I read Jenny McCarthy's book her humor made me lose any fear. Perhaps I just need a little more humor when it comes to something that makes me nervous.

Very informative!

I enjoyed listening to this book and thought the delivery (no pun intended) was very well done. It covers all the bases and helps prepare you for the ride of a lifetime.

good book

Was a pretty good book. Parts were funny and the narrator was easy to listen to. Going to have my hubby read it too!

Very educational

I didn't think I would get too much out of this book but I couldn't have been any more work. I definitely learned a great deal from this and I would highly recommend this book for those about to have a baby!

Informative and Simple

This is a good listen if you are having a child. I wish there were more information about the post baby birth part.

Great medical information

Any additional comments?

Book gives you great information on what is going on medically and what to expect. Dr Oz is greta to listen to but the other guy is kind of annoying. He pronunceates every word and his "L's" sound like "W's". Kinda hard to listen to after a while. It makes it more obvious when they switch back and forth. Dr Oz is genuine and enthusiastic and the other guy is slow, boring and excentuates and gets excited in random spots. Otherwise, great info.

Excellent explanations & tips

Great analogy for dancers throughout as well. Provides various options for guidelines and always reminds you that each pregnancy is unique and you need to follow what feels right for you.
